Rev 3 3vz-fe ibis white, 98k - Carlisle.

Post by StuRobinson88 »

Hello all.

Price is £2800.
Due to a severe change in circumstances, I am having to let a car go. The mr2 was the last one in, so it's going to be the first one out :(
Rather than try to list everything the car has had done, I will use text from the advert which I purchased the car from.

The changes I have made have been to replace the tinted tail lights to original rev 3 items, add a rev 4 steering wheel, a black leather TRD gear knob, and service it too.
Also, it was MOT'd around feb time, but I could re-do it if a buyer wishes. Aswell as this, I will re-tax it for 6 months for the full asking price.

The bad points, to begin - surface rust to the left hand sill; this will be rectified before any sale for the asking price.
Mileage now sits at 98600.

Everything you read below is from the original advert.

Toyota Mr2 MK2 3VZ-FE

Rev 3 N/A Import, Tin top.
It started life as a 3SGE Rev 3 import, purchased from Barronmr.
The engine was then removed and I then began a 3VZ-FE conversion, the list of parts below speaks for itself, there has been no expense spared.

The aim for the car was to have reliable V6 close to turbo power without the surge of torque as the turbo spools. Everything has been aimed at making the car good for fast road and occasional track use.

Whilst underway with the conversion there were a few questionable points on the body work, I then decided to have a full respray.
Lots of history and receipts from initial registration in Japan.

Hi mate.

I'd only knock a couple of hundred off for the wheels, tbh. And I don't have any standard items to replace them with.
You'd be best off coming to see the car.

Thanks, Stuart.

Hi there.

Thanks for the post.
I didn't realise there were no 'rear' shots of it until you asked for it.
I will get them tomorrow for you, if that's okay?

Thanks, Stuart.
